China has expressed its "strong dissatisfaction " with Japan's 2011 defense white paper, saying it contains irresponsible comments on te growth and enhancement of China's national defense sector.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday that China's reinforcement and modernization of its military and defense forces is entirely for sovereignty, territorial integrity and security purposes. IT's NOT targeted at any other country. China reaffirms its adherence to the path of peaceful development and the pursuit of a defensive national policy.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry also points out China's development benefits all countries in the world, including Japan. China calls on Japan to seriously reflect on its own defense policies and do more to deepen its mutual trust with neighboring countries.
